Question

Fernando has been saving money to buy an e-book reader. A store has just marked down the price of its readers by 40%. Each reader comes with a mail-in rebate for $25. If the reader used to cost $150, what will Fernando's final price be after the markdown and rebate? The total amount off includes the markdown and rebate. What is the total amount off?

Answer 1

Answer:

$85

Step-by-step explanation:

We are expected to solve for the amount off the reader after 40% discount and  $25 refund(rebate)

Now given that the book is $150

40% of 150

=(40/100)*150

=0.4*150

=$60

The total amount off includes the markdown and rebate.

the total amount is

60+25=$85
